(14-24 Nov. 1969) --- A very thin, crescent Earth, seen from the Apollo 12 Command and Service Modules (CSM) as NASA's second lunar landing crew returned home from the moon in November 1969. The brightness in the lower left corner of the photograph is a lens flare caused by sunlight reflecting on the window and the lens of the handheld Hasselblad camera.

Description
A gigantic ribbon of hot gas bursts upwards from the Sun, guided by a giant loop of invisible magnetism. This remarkable image was captured on 27 July 1999 by SOHO, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. Earth is superimposed for comparison and shows that from top to bottom the loop of gas, or prominence, extends about 35 times the diameter of our planet into space.

After several attempts we were able to shoot my friend Alexander Korolenko during the rise of Venus. The distance between us was about 3300 m. Shot in the area of ​​the Armanskiy pass, near Magadan. Thanks to Sergey Shibetskiy for the transport.
